Our museum is noted for its textile department. We have over a hundred quilts, twenty or so coverlets, more than a dozen flags and thousands of pieces of clothing. One of the most frequent donations to our textile department is wedding gowns. A few years ago Mary Lou Amburgy, the widow of Kash Amburgy, donated her wedding gown, Kash's wedding suit and the bridesmaid dresses from their 1949 wedding. She also donated her going away suit and an alligator purse and belt Kash bought for her on their honeymoon to Hawaii. They are on display in our Victorian Gallery. The exhibit will be in place through the summer. Visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00. Admission for members of the Warren County Historical Society is free, all others $5.00.
